Review: Lynx by Annabelle Jacobs (Wild Wolves MC #1)


Note: An advance reader copy (ARC) was provided by the author via Gay Romance Reviews.

It's been over three years since I last read something by Annabelle Jacobs, and I've always enjoyed her urban fantasy romances; so when I learned she had a new series starter in the offing, I took the opportunity to lay eyes on it as soon as possible. Set in a fictional East Midlands village called Harlington, Wild Wolves MC is Jacobs's new series, and she introduces readers to this world via Lynx, the first full-length novel. Lynx Harper is the president of the Wild Wolves, a motorcycle club that is more than it seems. He and his crew know how to keep their secrets and maintaining distance with those outside the club is necessary. But Lynx never quite anticipated just how difficult it would be to keep Morgan Webb away. The twenty-five-year-old university student and Tesco Express worker calls to him like no one else before him, but Lynx knows better than to give in. Not when Lynx just happens to be a shifter with a club--his pack--to protect. But soon, circumstances will force their hand, and Lynx will have to decide if he has to choose between the security of his pack or a mate who just happens to be human.

This was such a fantastic read! I was hooked from the get-go, going from one page to another, becoming more and more emotionally invested in this motorcycle club with shifters and the humans who find themselves entangled with them and their affairs. While the connection between Lynx and Morgan may have been a given, the struggle to come to terms with it AND deal with the issues that the club was facing. The push and pull made this an even more engaging read. Yes, resistance may have been futile for the main characters, and maybe it's weird to some that I like that they didn't act on it right away, but I love when I see that there's more to their relationship than fate and a bond. The foundation was laid and the author built on it, with steps forward and missteps that they had to get over. The suspense part of the story was also intriguing, and I like that it's a story arc that will continue moving forward. Lynx was an impressive start to the Wild Wolves MC series, and I cannot wait for what comes next. It gets five stars.

Review: Him by Sarina Bowen & Elle Kennedy (Him #1)

Image
Four years' worth of meaningless sexual encounters flash through my head as I break the kiss and slide down his body again. All those guys I hooked up with in the past...they're a blur. They're faceless. Sometimes they were faceless even when I was with them. I got off, they got off, but I wasn't fully present. I always held something back from them. Not with Jamie. I can't hold back with him, and never could. Holy book hangover. It's confirmed: there's something seriously wrong with me to have waited as long as I did to read this novel, though I'm counting getting it on sale as an absolute bonus. I get it now. I seriously and absolutely get why Him , the first book in the series by the same name from the writing tandem of Sarina Bowen and Elle Kennedy, has received and continues to receive the stellar reviews and accolades it's gotten since its release in July of last year. I've read many an M/M romance novel and yes, I've read...

Make the Play (Nashville Rampage #1) by Kaylee Ryan Release Date: June 24, 2025 About Make the Play Corie Knox Beckett is heartbreak in a helmet. He’s also my brother’s best friend, and so far out of my league, he's untouchable. But a few stolen glances turn into a welcome home that blindsides us both. The rules are clear. We just chose not to follow them. Now we’re sneaking around like we’re running a trick play, hooking up behind closed doors, and pretending our actions don’t have the power to blow up our lives. Knox is under my skin and tackling his way into my heart. Ready or not, it's time we make the play. Knox She’s the last girl I’m allowed to want—my best friend’s little sister.

And I sure as hell shouldn’t touch. My hands are already on her waist, one second longer, ...
